How we can price(calculate cost) garbage collection in different municipals of a city? These municipals in a city are out-sourcing all garbage collections using contracts with different companies. The municipals doesn't know real cost for contract of a year of own area and we need estimate it.
Currently companies offering their costs to municipals. for example we need 100 working sweeper, 20 cars for garbage collection etc. and total cost is N. But we need estimating to obtain real total cost for every area for better negotiating (preferably using simple and understandable methods). what do you suggest?
* We only want focus on municipals not households because households aren't directly paying garbage collection costs.
Thanks.
The world Bank has some very broad brush data here:

Hi Erm:
In the case of Spain, particularly in Catalonia, the garbage collection process depends of each Municipality. In that context is recurrent the creation of publics or mixed companies to manage some services, included this one.
In the case of Barcelona I’m not sure about the amount, but probably you could find information in the official website of the Municipality, in the link that explains their system garbage collection; http://w110.bcn.cat/portal/site/MediAmbient/menuitem.37ea1e76b6660e13e9c5e9c5a2ef8a0c/?vgnextoid=a94b25921cd1a210VgnVCM10000074fea8c0RCRD&vgnextchannel=a94b25921cd1a210VgnVCM10000074fea8c0RCRD&lang=en_GB
In addition, in the website of the Municipal Treasury Institute of Barcelona is the information regarding costs and taxes, in the next link http://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/hisenda/en/public-sector-charge-waste-collection
The second Municipality in Catalonia is Hospitalet de Llobregat, with a population of 253,518.00 habitants (2014). In their 2015 budget has assigned to the concept of 1620 solid waste collection and disposal, street cleaning and sewer an amount of 3,426,144.96 €. You can find the global budget in the next link, but is only in Catalan http://www.l-h.cat/utils/obrefitxer.ashx?Fw9EVw48XS7jyqazAXmnLj0reYgBIyCTQdZbYyvt6mqEoc5q7dXzX46fGvhHqazA6gUHeK
Or in the general link of financial data https://seuelectronica.l-h.cat/185526_1.aspx?id=1
Finally, is in Spanish, but an interesting book about the subject is the next one: Elias Castells, Xavier (2012) Métodos de Valorización y tratamiento de residuos municipales. (Methods of Valuation and treatment of municipal waste.) Available in https://books.google.es/books?id=sjpdEHoV7zYC&pg=PA832&dq=coste+de+la+recogida+de+basura+en+barcelona&hl=es&sa=X&ved=0CE4Q6AEwBWoVChMIvbaiisiRxwIVi-wUCh0q8geO#v=onepage&q=coste%20de%20la%20recogida%20de%20basura%20en%20barcelona&f=false
I hope this information helps you.
Best regards.
Rolando.
